Since the implementation of the 2015 Racing Innovation Plan, most farms have been experiencing a sales cliff due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of prize money in first-place finishes, which has led to the purchase of outstanding horses by owners. In this situation, it is urgently necessary to introduce a closure subsidy support system so that if racehorse-producing farms, which are already in a critical situation, go out of business,

Meanwhile, Seorabeol University is actively carrying out volunteer activities related to therapeutic horseback riding to enhance and promote the image of the domestic horse industry. Every year, the Department of Massage at Seorabeol University participates in nearby rehabilitation centers for people with disabilities and disability-related events, showcasing therapeutic horseback riding activities aimed at social participation.

In addition, as an executive of the Korean Society of Therapeutic Equestrianism, he attended the 2015 Therapeutic Equestrianism World Congress as Korea’s representative to promote the bid to host the 2021 Therapeutic Equestrianism World Congress, and as a director of the Gyeongju Regional Development Council, he has contributed to the reflection of policies for the development of Gyeongju’s horse industry.When asked about her acceptance speech,

Despite many difficulties over the past year, Korean horse racing has made relentless efforts to find a breakthrough to overcome the crisis. Reflecting on the self-portrait of Korean horse racing, which at times lost sight of the core values of “coexistence and competition” by being forced into distorted competition, we now promise to create a new Year of the Dog with fresh hope and leap forward from a new starting line, and we ask for your continued interest and support for Korean horse racing.

On the 29th, Professor Park received the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Commendation in the livestock sector at the 2017 Gyeongju City Year-End Ceremony and Award Ceremony held at the Arts Center in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk.Appointed in 2011, Professor Park made significant contributions in 2014 to securing Seorabeol College as a specialized institution for training experts in the equine industry from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs,

Specifically, the focus should be on expanding demand in the horse industry and establishing a foundation for it, while also paying attention to creating a complex horse industry complex and revitalizing a special horse industry zone to strengthen the competitiveness of the horse industry. In addition, we must strengthen our capacity not only to establish a foundation for the production and distribution of horse meat, but also to cultivate specialized personnel for the horse industry and to popularize horseback riding

Even this alone shows that our country was a horse power not only in Central Asia but also throughout the world. Horse experts also assess that Korea’s Guahama, that is, the Jeju horse, a native Korean breed, is far more resilient than the Mongolian horse.Considering that the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, held in 2017 at Gwanghwamun Square alongside the Korea Language Industry Association’s Seoul Language Culture Festival,attracted not only citizens but also many foreigners,

Korea is the world’s first nation to achieve both an economic miracle and a political miracle in the world for the first time in 70 years. Do you know that Genghis Khan was originally a descendant of the Korean people. A recent discovery has recorded that Genghis Khan was the 19th-generation descendant of Daeyabal, the younger brother of Balhae’s Dae Jo-yeong. The Korean people are a nation that, while arrogantly ruling the Manchurian plains, conquered the entire world beyond East Asia—China,

A new beginning is always filled with the energy of hope. The newly launched Korea National Equestrian Operators Association plans to work together with the government to make every effort to resolve, as soon as possible, the many pressing issues in the horse industry, including the industrialization of livestock utilization, the application of agricultural electricity to equestrian riding facilities, and problems related to equestrian insurance. I believe that when we put it into practice with earnest hearts,

May all your wishes come true, and especially may the sound of horses’ hooves, shaking the earth and shaking the heavens, once again resonate through the world, making this a busy and exciting year for everyone working in the horse industry.Looking back, the past year was a very hard and difficult one. We endured the pain of our hard-earned achievements collapsing overnight, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including equestrianism, was severely tarnished,

Through the first comprehensive horse industry plan, an unforeseen period of hardship came to South Korea’s horse industry, which had been growing rapidly, but in some respects it seems that this also created an opportunity to introduce the public to the unfamiliar world of equestrianism.Of course, trying to gain a success rate through noise marketing is not an option, given the very poor image it has built, and it is judged that it will still require a great deal of effort and time to recover.

Perhaps because of that, there were also the candlelight rallies that blazed brightly and major changes in the state. Unfortunately, at the center of it all was our horse industry, and among its various sectors, “equestrianism” was the headline news, conveying negative images about equestrianism day after day.One incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, and as a result, many people, including myself—who actually ran an equestrian center—had to overcome extremely difficult times.

Only then can the demand for riding horse production be revitalized, and it can lead to increased profits for specialized riding horse producer members. If the producers’ association is revitalized, the development and production of excellent Korean-style riding horses will naturally follow, and I believe the livestock policy intended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as an FTA alternative for livestock farmers will succeed.Finally, I wish that all horse-related organizations and professionals across

Like a huge lump of earth, the year when earth meets earth and blends together with the scent of alcohol and the smell of wine is called the “Year of the Golden Dog”!! It is said to be an auspicious year. I wish that the Year of the Golden Dog, the Year of the Dog, will be a year of hope and progress for everyone involved in the horse industry.2018 is also the year when the second five-year plan for the horse industry begins.The message the Korea Passenger Horse Breeders Association wants to convey to the Ministry of Agriculture,

Even amid the fierce waves and storms threatening our horse racing, we were able to stay on course because of the noble 25-year history of the individual horse racing system that the entire racing family has pioneered together, and the conviction and passion of all of us as we strive toward the grand goal of advancing horse racing.In particular, the unwavering support and encouragement from the horse racing fans who have protected Korean horse racing so that it has not lost its essence and identity have given us,

In particular, this year brought even greater harm to equestrian center operators nationwide under difficult circumstances, due to certain incidents such as the Choi Soon-sil state corruption scandal and the preferential treatment of Jeong Yoo-ra in equestrian affairs, which reinforced the negative image of equestrian riding among the public. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional riding horse breeders and horse-breeding farms as well.

After opening as Unbong Livestock High School in 1969, it was converted into a specialized high school at the end of 2003 and renamed Korea Racing and Livestock High School. After being selected by the Ministry of Education as a Meister high school in the horse industry field, we have been operating a horse industry and a second class since 2014, educating 40 students per grade. We receive support from the government for textbook development, teacher training, and budgeting, and together with the Korea Racing Authority, we are building networks with leading companies in the horse industry and conducting overseas training programs.As a supervisor in the Vocational Education Division of the Education Bureau at the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, I was interested in specialized high schools in the Jeonbuk region and employment issues.

Ahead of the publication of a book containing anecdotes about that “classic girl,” our publication plans to introduce part of the content through a serialized article starting next week. Among the serialized content was also the technical aspects of horseback riding that he experienced during training.Amid this, there is someone who personally runs around looking for students’ “food” and travels overseas and to various job sites to help them find employment. Even though his retirement is just four months away, he remains as consistent as when he took office three years ago. Even though it was the day of the promised interview, he, dressed as a farmer, was alone tilling the land behind the school. Even after finishing the shower, he poured drinks himself during the interview, and as soon as the interview ended, he changed clothes again and headed to the hill behind the school with the students this time.

Actually, I’m very sorry to the teachers. As I found myself leading students more often due to increased outdoor activities, I jokingly say, “It was better when I was at a specialized high school.” Whenever students go to Japan for training, I also step up and accompany them. Nevertheless, the teachers do not neglect self-development and are making efforts to teach students, such as obtaining leadership qualifications in the horse industry field. Even if I leave, I plan to petition the education office so that the teachers can stay and continue teaching the students steadily.

Compared to three years ago, the horses have increased from 25 to 71, and I handle everything myself, from breeding to all management. We have also nearly doubled the number of teachers, sending them for training and helping them obtain various instructor qualifications, so they can work as professional educators cultivating specialized personnel. It has built infrastructure and educational programs that are envied by officials from advanced horse industry countries, making it a cradle of professional training even better than universities.All projects to expand related facilities such as horse stables, horse yards, and stable rooms will be completed this year. We have efficiently reorganized the curriculum and are focusing on strengthening the quality of theoretical classes.

At the beginning of 2013, I was selected as a recommended candidate for appointment through the principal’s open recruitment system, and when I took office in March, I carried a sense of responsibility.On October 1, 2013, my first year in office, we were designated as an institution for training specialized personnel in the horse industry, and I went on a three-week training trip with students to Lyon, France, where the Horse Industry Expo was held. It made me reflect on the education our students need and the teaching methods of a vocational school.Specialized high schools that combine equestrian and horse racing are hard to find even on a global scale. Our school was once on the verge of closure, with only seven students per class, but after transitioning into a specialized high school, it established its initial foundation and is now regarded as an exemplary model of advanced education.

And when I went on a horse, I thought I wanted to try it, so I started riding it every weekend as a hobby. My wife had been an equestrian for several years when I was a student. I've been working very hard over the years, so when I was playing D-class, my wife ran S-class. I'm not currently a player. My daughter is a senior in high school, and she's a dressage training player at the Valios Horseback Riding Club. It was a very short period of time. There was a little bit of dressage at the horse racing course specializing in dressage, and even the stumbling block has to learn the basic dressage. However, it's not a personal favorite sport.
